And I am very happy to report that as of today, our experiences of membership are diametrically opposite those we had when we first started out and joined the CC

Stopped at a site, friendly wardens ( unlike the Rotweiler(sp?) wardERS we seem to encounter at CC sites.
No spam at all
Well priced sites all over France
Magazine that does not have 30% of its pages 'bigging up' its self !!

Further reports to follow :Wink:

Life, begins at errrrr.... well the age you join Funsters I 'spose !

Have to agree the CC&C website is a joke but its not funny ive stopped using it it was a lot better before some spotty youth sat at his computer and changed it all, ive sent a couple of complaint emails got a reply which said that a lot of members found the old site hard to use and understand so what i know lets make it ten times harder to understand and call it progress NOT, i now just book the CC sites the website is easy to use well it would be they have not messed with it, as for the wardens on CC sites i will have to say again ive never had a problem with one and have stayed on a lot of club sites, i have spoken to a lot of wardens and they say that some people seem to turn up with the know it all stance and just want to treat them like servents if thats the case then is it any wonder some people clash.

I have been to C&CC sites where the toilets and showers were in a bad way
and in one case so smelly I would never dream of having a shower in them.
This has never been the case with CC toilets and showers.

I use loads of CC sites and the wardens I meet are great...charming friendly and helpful.

I wont judge all the C&CC sites by the few less than perfect ones I have visited...but I just dont understand why people have it in for the CC..when
my own experience tells me the image portrayed by the OP is just not the case and well out of date.

Agree Barry there seems to be an anti CC few, well my answer is dont go which frees space up for the ones that dont have so called problems with the wardens :thumb: at the end of the day you pay your money you take your choice but i know which one i would rather go to :Wink:

We've been members of C&CC since we bought our first MH.
All the Club sites we've visited have been first class.
The main benefit we gain is the rallies - we spent all of the school holidays last summer touring rally sites across Lancs/Yorks/NE. There are dozens of them all over the country and usually around £7 - £8 per night. Always water and waste disposal available so as long as you have solar and don't need EHU they're great.

Never had a problem on CC sites even with an RV and the quality of facilities is always good, but on the C&CC site on Skye a real "charmer" of a warden :thumbdown: nice site though :thumb:

I stayed at the Skye C&CC site last year. The warden is an ex military gentleman. Lower ranks of course. The solution was simple...just give the impression that you were of a higher rank and he will bend over backwards to please you.:Rofl1::Rofl1:

Seriously, I found him extremely helpful at a time when the site was very busy with a large contingent of Dutch caravanners.

I AGREE, I HAVE ALSO SENT EMAILS AND HAD THE SAME ANSWER. I STOPPED USING THEM AS THE WEBSITE WAS TERRIBLE, I ALSO HAVE HAD ( oops sorry for shouting) a look and it is a lot easier to use, I liked the old way though you could see what was available at a glance and if one day in the middle of your booking a pitch was not available we could just swap to a non EHU if that was available for the night and then go back to the other pitch, you cannot do this with the website though so no improvement on that one, we have to phone if that happens, but well done to them for listening to their members at last.

Used to be members of both clubs ages ago when we were tuggers. It was a few years after we sold the last caravan, before we bought a MH - so let the memberships lapse.

Re-joined C&CC when the MH came along. Like the Over 55s discount, which provides good value. Also like the rallies, especially during summer school holidays, when other sites are expensive.

Had occasion to stay at a Caravan Club site last October, and were going to re-join the club while we were there if all went well. Unfortunately, it didn't go well, so we didn't join! Shame, because the site was fine, unfortunately it was the staff - put us right off.

So we'll stick with the C&CC for now - and thank goodness they've re-designed the website in the last day or so, facilitating easy map searches again!

Oh, and we also stayed at the Skye C&CC site about four weeks ago - stunning location and a lovely couple running it.:thumb:

I like the C&CC, they give a discount of you are of a certain age, the cl's are all good, the forest sites are bleddy great, as for the CC...i didnt like their sites, nor their mag.....so i didnt renew membership,.
